I'm personally sort of partial to the NetBSD/hp300 boot program (you'd
want to look at pboot.c), but if yours is a system which provides access
to the hardware via PROM routines, you might want to look at the sun3 or
sparc second-stage boot programs instead, though you should probably use
the MI libsa exec code (with the appropriate machine-dependent hook).
